Bleap has partnered with Mastercard to enhance stablecoin payments. It is launching a non-custodial debit card. You’ll soon be able to use your stablecoins (such as USDC or EURC) to pay at over 150 million stores worldwide that accept MasterCard without needing to convert to fiat or use a bank.
This partnership aims to make stablecoin payments a seamless reality in the real world, bridging the gap between your cryptocurrency wallet and everyday spending.
From DeFi to Daily Purchases
Bleap made a loud entrance in December with its self-custodial wallet, offering one-click access to DeFi yields. It also provided zero fees for buying and selling stablecoins, as well as complete control over your funds. Through debit card services, users can use cryptocurrency to make cash payments regardless of time or location.
Big news: Bleap has signed a strategic partnership with @Mastercard to bring stablecoin payments into the financial mainstream.
Stablecoins are here to stay—and we’re just getting started.
The future of payments will be self-custodial.

Through this collaborative effort, users address a significant issue: most existing payment systems continue to operate through banks that do not support budget-centric wallet management. That makes it difficult for crypto users to utilize their digital assets daily, but Bleap and Mastercard are changing that.
What the Founders Are Saying
Joao Alves, co-founder of Bleap, said it best:

Scott Abrahams from Mastercard added: “Digital currencies are a critical part of the global economy. Our Web3 card program helps partners like Bleap unlock new levels of accessibility.”
In other words, Mastercard is betting on crypto becoming a regular part of everyday payments, and Bleap is a key player in making that happen.
When it comes to crypto, we’re all about helping people and businesses understand and trust how blockchain and digital assets work – and how our tech can solve issues and create more efficient systems.
